TIME MANAGEMENT 1 DAY SEMINAR (7 PDUs)
ROI
As you examine your own time management and workflow processes, you will discover what prevents you from managing your time effectively. You will become familiar with tools and organizational systems designed to maximize your productivity, reduce stress and ultimately help you accomplish more. The focus is on understanding key principals from thought leaders like Getting Things Done author David Allen, organizational expert, Julia Morgenstern, and email expert Merlin Mann.
